Installing Sims 3 custom content

TutorialsAuthor: Per|TSRPublished: Feb 02, 2010Views: 145783

ZIP Download

The default download option is to download the Sims3Pack file (several files if a Set) holding the custom content as a ZIP. This is done by clicking the button with the green arrow. Once you have downloaded the ZIP, you have two options:

1) Double-click the Sims3Pack file(s) in the ZIP to install it immediately.

2) Extract the file(s) to the "My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads" folder. From there they will be installed the next time you launch the game.

Sims3Pack Download

Individual items can be downloaded directly as Sims3Pack files, and with this method you can either...

1) Put the Sims3Pack file in the "My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads" folder, and it will be installed the next time you launch the game.

2) You can execute the file (double-click it). If you have the TSR Launcher installed it will open in that application, otherwise it will be installed directly.

TSR Launcher Download (only for Sets, subscriber only)

For Sims 3 Sets, subscribers get the option to download the full Set in a special format which can be opened by the TSR Launcher, making it very convenient to manage all of the files in the Set in a single step. The association between the special .tsr file format and the TSR Launcher is normally done when installing the TSR Launcher.

Add to Basket (subscriber only)

Clicking this button adds the item to the download basket, or in the case of Sets, the Sets individual items.

I need a safe file compresser for The Sims 3 Resource cc I wish you guys would make your own, making it safer and easier for users. WinRAR, 7-zip + come with viruses or stop working...need help...plus I shouldn't have to make files for it either...I don't know what I'm doing and could mess up my computer & game

Where does the CC install to? All my games are installed to one harddrive and it has 670gb of space left, but then my C: drive is full? Why have they gone to different places and how can I move it across? There's no point in filling up one to point of overload and barely using another!! Please help

i downloaded a home and everything, it shows up on the launcher and i simply cannot find the lot in the game itself. this is aggravating and confusing, help please! i really want to download from this website again but i just don't know how.
